without saying the name of the wad, its author, or an otherwise searchable unique fact about it. Try to keep it subjective. To be fair keep it cacowards and cacoward mentions only.
Heres mine:
This is a mean and long LONG map but one of the softest of the designer's mapping background, which usually is slaughter/challengemap type stuff. Unlike other stuff this mapper usually makes (to intentionally murder a specific doom friend of his,) this one is ominous in appearance, but the the ferocity of the mapper's challengemap roots do shine through in places in this in a good way making an experience that is both a fun romp with tough monsters and a dark mystery waiting to be uncovered. Without having made many serious releases, this mapper has really polished this one well. Its a monstrous complex with a pretty unique take on marble/gstone textures, but unless you want to save a lot, you'll have to set aside a good bit of time to make it through this in one sitting. It has a pretty brooding and unique thematic take on IWAD textures that give it its own world. Even while staying the same all the way through, stays remarkably fresh and classy. Its a pretty awesome map that demonstrates its mappers potential in the best way, but somehow slipped under the radar for a lot of people. Definitely recommend for those who want a rewarding classic doom adventure in a consistently themed dank UAC labyrinth with a lot of eye candy.

Sounds like something by TimeOfDeath. Perhaps Cassie Steele?

Damn. This is gonna be just like the "Guess the image" thread. Sniped.
I thought of Jade Earth while mulling this over on my phone earlier, but couldn't fit a couple hints until now. I had to check Jodwin's other body of work to see if this is one of his more serious maps. And I guess Maes is the "specific doom friend" because he shows up in some txt files, and sometimes name-drops the "Finnish Frugality Formula" in forum posts.
Good stuff.

Starting at Map 5, it goes downhill completely. Plutonia is easily one of the worst things to happen to Doom. Instead of crafting well-designed levels, we get nonstop waves of powerful enemies crammed in small environments. It becomes a chore to play when enemies spawn in your face. It's simply not fun.

The word "baka" there makes me think it's something from the Japanese community

Oh my. I found it fairly quickly by searching Doomwiki, but this one not many people would've played. There isn't even a post for the map on Doomworld. I won't spoil it.

How can a wad where every single start room is impossible (or near-impossible) be even considered for a cacoward, let alone win one? (this is from a fan of hard slaughtermaps btw)
